thiru voi mozhi nURRandhAdhi

 

ArAmudhAzhwAr Adharitha pERugaLai thArAmaiyAlE

thalarndhu miga, thErAdha Asaiyudan ARRAmai pEasi alamandhAn

mAsaRu sEr mARan emmAn." 48

 

 

1. The first word of the pAsuram starts with the\ word 'ArAamudhu"

which is also the first term of the "ArA amudhEa" padhigam of thiru

voi mozhi 5-8.

 

2. The aformenetioned "ArAvamudhEa" padhigam explains the experience

of AzhwAr in the sense of expecting to see Him and mix with Him and

not getting this desire so fulfilled, he breaks into emotional

outbursts like crying, falling at His feet, dancing and so on "

azhuvan, thozhuvan, AdikkANban..." thiru voi mozhi 5-8 thus spelling

out His unfulfilled desire and in the tenth pAsuram stating with

despair " unakkAt pattum, adiyEan innam uzhalvEnO!" Even after

becoming subservient to YOu, I am still lingering here.

 

 

3. Both the padhigam and this pAsuram finish with the term mAn -namely

emmAn in this pAsuram and "mAnEai" in the thiru voi mozhip padhigam

which is the first letter of the next padhigam "manEi nOkku nallEr".

 

4. "mAsaRu sEr mARan" is the praise and respect to the AzhwAr
